OF sixteen dances was thoroughly enjoyed to
the excellent music of Chambers band
The feature of the evening that attracted

We have every reason to be-
Iieve they are the best suits
we have ever seen for these
reasons:
LIST. The goods are the best
quality "MiddIesex," full In

not familiar with the various
grades of Blue Fiannels have
an idea that all "MiddIesex"

not the case however. There
are different weights, differ

and different costs, for the
different qualities. Our m i'd

the best flannel produced by
that celebrated mill.

better, fit better and wear
longer.

very finest stock and are
guaranteed free from all cot

well made and trimmed and
are equal in every respect to

The repetition of this opera by the anna

OF course, with the additional confidence
obtained by a second performance, the opera
went more smoothly than before. 1t Is

probably favor Portland audiences with
other operas in the future, and that re-

put up splendid school house, and
Azusa and Lordsburg will follow suit.
All over the southern section of the

school houses are now in many instances
the most beautiful and conspicuous
buildings in town or city.

A WORD TO SCHOOL TEACHERS

Permit me to say, even at the risk of being
called "old fogy," that in my opinion this
work of Sunday school teaching is divine
work, undertaken for spiritual results, and
therefore we should guard against the
modern tendency to secularize these schools,
either by questionable efforts to increase
numbers, or by as questionable entertain
ments, whose aim is to retain the scholars
when onse they have become members.
would not have you understand me as believ-
ing in a dull, gloomy school, nor as forgetful
of the peculiar methods which are needed to
keep up the interest, especially in our mis-
sions; but do believe most deeply in max
ing them all the nurseries of the Lord, in
subordinating all plans for the entertainment
of the children to the one grand aim, the
conversion and enriching of their souls, and
when this aim is lost sight of and the attend
ance is maintained only or chiefly by sys-
tenn of rewards and circus-like entertain
ments, which like too much French candy as
related to the physical, spoils the appetite for
religious truth, then such schools cannot be
called spiritual gardens; they are no benefit
to the church, and 1 doubt very much
whether the records of eternity will show that
they were of any value to the scholars, though
the record of the school may show large at
tendance.
And if the work of teaching is divine in its
character, it follows that for this work there
must be divine ordination. Tho idea that
anybody can teach Sunday-school class is a
pernicious one; and yet many superinten-
dents do not realize this, as You can readily
see when they fill vacant classes with strang-
ers who may chance to be present as visitors,
utterly Indifferent as to whether these strang-
ers have any capacity for teaching, or have
made any preparation for teaching the les
son; or when they urge young and immature
Christians, and even those who make no pro-
fession of any personal piety, to take Glasses,
simply because such a service may be a
religious benefit to the teacher-as if parents
sent their children to the school, not to be
instructed and built up in spiritual truths,
but to sacrifice sacred time for the benefit
which may possibly come to the teacher
through the exercises of teaching.-A. f..
Kittredgs, DID,, in Evangelist.

THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT In
TEXAS.
DALLAS, TEXAS, July 1, 1887.

DALLAS, TEXAS, July l, 1887.
To the Editor of The Umipersalist:
A great tidal wave Of reform is sweep
ing over this State in favor of the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution,
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating liq-
uors for any except sacramental, medic
inal, mechanical and scientific purposes.
The better classes Of our citizens are
in favor of the amendment, which is to be
submitted to vote of the people on the
4th of August, and the members of our
church in Texas are almost unanimously
in favor of it. Our DIR. Robinson, of Waco,
has been actively engaged in the canvas
for the past two months, travelling and
lecturing in all parts Of the State, under
the direction Of the State Prohibition Ex-
ecutive Committee. He is one of the
ablest orators in Texas. He has covered
himself with glory and won the plaudits
of the friends of law and order wherever
he has gone. The Doctor has had but
five hours with his family in the past
thirty days. He left Fort Worth yester-
day for tour of Southern Texas, through
which section he will travel and lecture
from once to twice day until the cleo
ton.
Yesterday witnessed at Fort Worth,
the grandest political gathering that ever
